PETALING JAYA: A total of 47 company directors have been arrested for making false claims through the PenjanaKerjaya recruitment and training incentive programme.

They were arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission through the nationwide Op Hire 2.0, an operation to curb the embezzlement and leakage of government funds as a result of false claims made by company directors through the programme.

MACC deputy chief commissioner Datuk Seri Ahmad Khusairi Yahaya confirmed the arrests and said the case is being investigated under Section 18 of the MACC Act 2009 and Section 471 of the Penal Code. He said MACC has identified hundreds of other companies that have made these false claims and would continue the operation to arrest all those who are involved.
